It is not about protecting children it is about controlling the population 8) What really pisses me off is how long will they go on peddling the poor helpless child as a vehicle for control . I think that highways should be banned from the US because any child (think about it any child) can just walk into the middle of the highway and get killed . 10 feet tall barriers should be errected on existing rural streets, inner cities roads and every intersection should be carefully patrolled or monitored .
